The Vigil will feature poetry, reflections, speeches from Filipino community leaders and a moment of silence for the innocent lives taken. Please arrive by 7PM to receive your candle.
As a coalition that produces numerous annual cultural events and festivals across Silicon Valley and the Bay Area, including FAHM Jam, Jeepney Jam, Philippine Flag Raising ceremonies, and educational activities, we stand with our Filipino communities near and afar.
We welcome all community members to join us as we grieve and hold each other through this tragedy.
Thank you to San José Councilmembers Peter Ortiz and Domingo Candelas for co-sponsoring our Vigil. We’re also deeply grateful to Dion Lim of ABC7 (@dionlimtv) for helping amplify our message and sharing the heartfelt response of our Bay Area Filipino community to this tragic event.
